"Your daughter will be one of the most powerful we have ever seen in this family. She will be a beacon for us all." Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and on the day she was born, her grandmother proclaimed she would be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now, seventeen years later, she spends most of her time at boarding school in Manhattan, where she can at least pretend to be normal. But during the summers, she's forced to return home and work at her family's bookstore/magic shop. One night a handsome young professor from New York University arrives in the shop and mistakes Tamsin for her extremely Talented older sister. For once, it's Tamsin who's being looked at with awe and admiration, and before she can stop herself, she agrees to find a family heirloom for him that was lost more than a century ago. But the search - and the stranger - prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the past sins of her family, and unleash a power so strong and so vengeful that it could destroy them all. In a spellbinding display of storytelling, Carolyn MacCullough interweaves witchcraft, romance, and time travel in a fantasy that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.

This book suffers severely from First Book Syndrome. What it really needs is some solid rewriting and a strict editor. Where's that full stop, young lady?Once A Witch is a story about Tamsin, who is born into a family of Talented witches. On the day of her birth her grandmother prophecies great things for her, but it turns out, Tamsin was born with no Talents at all. Feeling like a freak and a misfit, Tamsin grabs at the opportunity to prove herself when a stranger mistakenly approaches her to

Somewhere along the way, I must have categorized all YA fiction to be subpar books with even worse writing. Yet, I still manage to be intrigued by book covers and add them to my tbr. This is one of the few times that I managed to stumble on a gold mine.Once a Witch follows Tamsin, the younger daughter of a magical family who was supposedly predicted to be the "beacon of her family" and being super powerful. Well, at the age she was supposed to be getting her Talent, as they call it, she doesn't.

A fine urban fantasy about a family of witches, told from the POV of Tamsin, the only member of the family without powers. When she's mistaken for her super Talented (with a capital T) sister Rowena, she tries to prove herself to her family by finding a long lost family heirloom for a handsome young professor. Of course, mayhem ensues. I wanted to love this a little more than I did. I liked it fine. But I love the "families of witches" plot line, and was super excited to read about Tamsin and

This is a book that I really enjoyed a lot. The book is about a girl named Tamsin who has grown up in a family who all have different and individualized Talents- their term for the magical abilities each person has which can vary from person to person. Funny thing is, when Tamsin was born, her grandmother proclaimed that she would be the most powerful witch that has ever been born into their family... and then for some reason in the entire 17 years that Tamsin has lived, this has never came to

Nothing memorable. I've read worse, but I've also read much better.What started out as a great premise -- a Weasley-like family of oddball witches & warlocks, each granted a specific magical Talent -- rapidly spiraled into a celebration of Teh Speshul Snowflake. Not only does Tamsin have a Talent that she never knew about, but it's a SUPER-DUPER AWESOME TWO-FOLD TALENT!! that alternately protects those she loves while spelling Mary-Sue'd Doom toward anyone with fiendish plans for the magic

I don't what it was about this book but there was something about it that just drew me in. The book was a continuous stream of fast-paced tension with an added dose of action. I loved the chemistry and interactions Tamsin had with the male lead. It's quite obvious that they have feelings for the other but it's never bogged down in a mushy subplot that takes away from the main story. Yes, they like each other, but their friendship is more important and she doesn't really want to be in a

This surprised me in such a good way. The description sounded so great but I totally expected it to be crap like most YA these days, but I rushed through this one - almost instantly taken in by the story, the characters, and the emotion. Wow, I just realized how cynical I am about ya these days. I really do expect them to be mediocre at best and written as if by a 15 year old girl.What cinched it for me big time was Tamsin. She is a girl growing up in a world that she cannot participate in. She
